In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Brigadier General Kiumarz Heidari,
At the suggestion of the Commander of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army and considering your commitment and valuable experiences, I appoint you as the Commander of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army Ground Force.
Appropriate efforts for improving the dynamism and efficiency of the units – in line with the operational needs of the present time – are expected.
I thank and I appreciate the value of the efficient efforts made by Brigadier General Pourdastan during the time he held this responsibility.
I ask Allah the Great to bestow success on everyone.
